Forecast for April 2010 (All times EST)

Again, this Summer's history-making main event, known as the Cardinal Cross or Cardinal Square, consists of Jupiter conjoining Uranus in the Cardinal Fire of Aries, both opposed (180°) Saturn and Mars in Cardinal Air Libra, with all square (90°) Pluto in Cardinal Earth Capricorn. Such a configuration of the outer planets Saturn, Uranus and Pluto (not to mention Jupiter and Mars) has never been seen before in human history, particularly as intense and focused in the first four degrees of each of these Cardinal signs. So, further conjecture about exactly what will be happening is still anyone's guess, although making proper preparations for it, while keeping our prophetic third-eye as wide open as possible, is the Universal mandate at this time.

This configuration can be imagined as a sacred pyramid geometry, with Jupiter and Uranus on the left (Aries) corner of the base, Mars and Saturn on the right bottom corner (Libra), with Pluto in Capricorn at the apex of a right triangle, 90° away from both bases. In more appropriate terms, this should be seen as a "get it right" triangle because so much could go so terribly wrong if too many people and institutions are living outside of the spiritual imperative of this pyramid, or by over-identifying with any one of these three crucial points.

Complicating this conflagration is the aforementioned inconjunct aspects that Saturn will be making to Chiron and Neptune this month and beyond, which began this past September and will culminate at the height of the Cardinal Cross. These inconjuncts have been (and will be) promising a lack of focus and spiritual wisdom (Saturn inconjunct Neptune) for folks living on the wrong side of history, especially when it comes to spiritual, physical and emotional health issues (Saturn/Chiron).

This moral dilemma has already been playing itself out in the US Congress, passing health care reform legislation every bit as significant as Civil Rights, Medicare and Medicaid were back in the mid Sixties, signed into law during the previous Saturn/Uranus oppositions. Major players on the successful (and exalted) side of this debate have been receiving death threats (Saturn square Pluto), inconceivable by folks in other developed nations with more enlightened health care systems.

Thankfully, Saturn moving back into Virgo this month temporarily takes the edge off of Saturn's approaching square to Pluto, but this raw-nerve energetic will be returning in force by July. It would therefore behoove Faux News to tell its misguided armies to keep their guns and bombs at home.

Another major component of the Cardinal Cross is beginning to ramp up as Jupiter starts to catch up to Uranus, from ten degrees away as April begins, to within one degree by the end of May. Jupiter/Uranus conjunctions happen only every thirteen years with monumental social and technological achievements occurring each time. Thirteen years ago saw the height of the Dot-Com bubble with all of its innovations, thirteen years previously saw the birth of the Internet itself, and thirteen years prior saw the first human walking on the Moon shortly before the Woodstock Nation was born.

Expansive Jupiter and revolutionary Uranus working together can also spark social unrest, especially as Uranus moves deeper into its separating square to Pluto. Jupiter and Uranus are currently in the deep Piscean waters but both will be entering fiery Aries in May and June, stoking the flames (Aries) of invention (Uranus) in major (Jupiter) ways but also sparking a rebellious fuse or two. Along with Saturn and Uranus simultaneously lining up in opposition to each other, the need for responsible (Saturn) change (Uranus) will be compelling and necessary, yet highly tricky with Jupiter's involvement in the mix. And throwing Mars into Saturn's corner the last week of July and the first week of August can certainly add an air of militancy to the proceedings, something we'll all need to be mindful of to help avoid. Blessed are the peacemakers indeed.
